I'll have a look at the Chinese language stuff, I noticed a couple of
specific sounds recently relating to numbering when fixing some stuff
recently... I think it would be of benefit to have text documents in
doc/lang though, even if there are other format docs available too...

Improving the Chinese language support is an ongoing background project of
mine started recently, I'm hoping to get a full sound collection for Chinese
mandarin recorded soon which should help with identifying further issues and
potentially help promote more asterisk use in mandarin speaking countries...
